Wheelie King!!

[irbodden]

Jammin James, I used to be a BIG mountain bike rider, and there is NO way you can ride a wheelie like that.

First off, there is no way you can maintain balance while riding that vertically. Secondly, you wouldn't be able to peddle even if you could balance. Good Try...

Had your buddy snap a picture right as you snapped the bike up?

Well I hope your clips get stuck and you eat dirt next time

And close your mouth, you look silly..

first off, 80's are the shiz. second, you are the one who cant admit that you are wrong. SHartly knows what he is talking about. There is no way to do that for any more than a split second.

wheres it say hes riding it? god this forum should be caller the Cynical Corner cause all you pirahannas(sp) do is tear each other apart, wow a wheelie..hmmm i think ill over anyilize this to death and make this guy look like a jerk, or i ..whatever.....continue bickering children

[irbodden]

Danism, he said he was ridding it. BTW this kid was banned anyways..

[dansim]

o he does....nvrmnd i cant read but this is still frikkin stupid to be carring on like lil children

HAHA later i'll post a pic later of how high i can get, but i guess you can get that high.

I can get that high, but i cant sit. When i go into an endo, then fall back and grab the rear brake so your back tire is locked, then you can go pretty high.

p.s. 80's have the hardest hitting powerband. (but i ride a 125)

p.p.s SHartley does know what hes talkin about.

[-J�ker-]

lets look at the FACTS shartley is a mature 25-40 year old man with a family nice house nice cars (otherwise succesful) hes garduated college raised 3-4 children is married has proven he is smart here countless times and this kid who is like in 7th grade is gonna tell him he is wrong and has no idea what hes talking about.... ill choose who i believe and the obvious choice is the guy who has actually gadutated college

[dansim]

he maybe older but does he pop whellies everyday? sometimes physics just dont work lol, maybe he was on a steep hill with the camera tilted and his centre of balance was changed

I cant ride wheelies.. Im just not that advanced in biking I guess.. You see, How I do wheelies, is I stand up on the peddles, and my body wieght is over the suspension, then I push down, and pull up. I can get it relitivally high by doing that.. thats pretty much how I do bunny hops too.. I dont have clips.. I cant do a bunny hop on flat ground either..

I thought the same thing.. but then looked again. If he was on a hill the sign post would be at an angle.

Sometimes physics just doesn't work...did I read this correctly?

News to me and i'm in college with a 4.0 gpa.

And SHartley.....I'm shocked as well as a bit worried....you agreed to this rediculous statement?

LOL No, I just did not comment on it. I was actually only commenting on the HILL thing. Sorry I did not specify.... I don't want to shock anyone.

[irbodden]

Dansim was kidding..

[shartley]

I would hope so.

If anyone with some common sense would think they would realize that what he is doing in the picture COULD really be done if he is using his back brake. If he really did do it, that i dont know.

In every wheelie there is a balance point. What is the balance point? Its a point in awheelie right before you "loop" the wheelie. How long could you ride a wheelie for in that position? Probably not that long if at all...but it DOES exist. As long as you are using a back brake you can actually go PAST the balance point and still come back down from the wheelie. How? Your traveling at a speed of lets say 20 mph when you reach the *balance point* which gives you a forward direction of 20mph. As you hit the balance point all you need to do is hit the back brake and the top of the bike continues to go 20 mph and the bottom of the bike...(the bottom tire) slows down which means...hmm yup you guessed it..the front tire comes down and you ride your wheelie out..

Again not saying that this kid DID do it...but it CAN be done.
